What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 78 requires due consideration of an appropriate level of protection before personal data is transferred outside Libya, naming six factors: the nature of the personal data, the source of the information, the purposes and duration of the processing, the destination country and its international commitments and applicable law, the relevant rules in that country, and the security measures taken to protect the data there.

The provision states a multi factor due consideration test rather than a prior authorization requirement, an adequacy finding, or a localization mandate.
